I am so excited that our group gets to visiti a beach in Vietnam with the schedule change. I trust Ms. Pham when she says Vung Tau beach is more crowded and touristy than Ho Coc. I would definitely prefer to go to a beach that is less crowded. In my experience with traveling to multiple international beaches, I have always preferred quiet and less developed beaches. I think it makes for a more authentic experience. My dad was born and raised in Costa Rica so every time when visit we go to all the hidden beaches that not many of the tourists know about. I prefer the relaxation and quiet in these areas. I think it allows you to really appreciate the beauty of the natural world instead of all the manmade structures that consume other beaches. I really hope we end up going to Ho Coc beach, but I will be happy with either one because I’m a beach bum at heart and anything with water and palms trees will suffice.
